Gambling sends a man 10 the Pen.


CHICAGO, ILL, January flames
Acheson, the | embt zzling manager
Of the Hotel Florence at Pullman,
pleaded guilty to the charge in Judge
Anthony's Cnurt today. He took
email sums from time to time until
his shortage grew to something like
5000. Gambling was what troubled
him he eaid. To the Cout he said he
had gambisd On Randolph street, and
tha. the proprietors Of the place
were Xix Gum and OE James.
Acheson fed TO Canada when his
guilt was discovered. His where.
s5outs were not known till he wrots q
lsiter 10 Tom Sheedy, brother Of
Pa Sheody, sporting man, asking
for soma money, ss he was without
funds. Sheedy sent him 500. which
Acheson gambled away in Dstroit.
He used to come across the river at
Windsor and gamble in Detroit, and
while there trying his luck one night
Matt PinkertOn found him in a gam
bling house. Acheson was brought
back and friends set to work to get
him out OF the trouble. One circum-
stance that prevailed in bis behalf was
that the Pullmaus only paid him $50
a month TO manage their hotel inter-
ests, while his wife, who was house,
keeper, received Only $25 q month.
Judge Anthony seemed to think this
was entirely ont OF proportion to
what the man deserved. 1t WAS rep
resented to him that Mr.. Pullman de-
sired that Acheson be left off as lightly
as possible, and he was sentenced to
pay fine Of 500 and five months i'm.
pri5onment in the county jail.
